I'm increasingly annoyed by annobin these days. On top of the problems
caused by annobin _still_ being a separate source package from gcc and
breaking compilation, I'm not even sure what value it even provides.
Ordinarily, I'd be going "meh" to changes like this, but now I can't
even count on being able to build software in Rawhide anymore, and
potentially even in stable releases!

Can the compiler team just merge the bloody plugin sources into the
gcc source package so that it doesn't randomly break anymore?

*grumbles about not having auto-rebuilding+submitting of reverse deps
so this wouldn't be a problem anymore...*
